The controller is configured monitor the position of the window relative to the window frame and transmit at least one control signal to the window actuator to move the window relative to the window opening in response to activation of the one or more devices. The controller transmits a first control signal to the window actuator to move the window at a first speed in response to detection of a first activation state and a second control signal to the window actuator to move the window at a second speed that is reduced relative to the first speed in response to detection of a second activation state.
